1:55 Karl is so fucking right there "It depends on what you class as important in life". Karl gains happiness from doing stuff like fixing things so why would he need to be "smart" by going through tons of education or whatever?
The fantastic idea behind An idiot abroad, in my opinion is not that its simply about hurting, or exclusively ridiculing Karl. Its the idea of taking a small and content man, insular but a genuinely good person at heart and engaging them in big things. not just pushing someone out of their comfort zone and laughing at their discomfort ( albeit I'd be a liar if I wasn't selfishly amused at all of it) but exposing someone who would have never taken the initiative on their own to do incredible things and experiences....and occasionally asking them to try goat penis and decade old rotten fish. And for what its worth he reminds me more of Bilbo Baggins than Homer Simpson. The man is such a sport time and time again, and while I thank Ricky and Steve for acknowledging the incredible potential for entertainment maybe philosophical areas as well, I wish they would give Karl a well, well deserved moment in the sun
Not only is Karl not thick, he's a far superior actor to that pair. Eamon and Ruth were in 'Annually Retentive' with Rob Brydon, performances that'd be judged sub-par, even in a primary school nativity play.
Karl Pilkington is not an idiot. He just has a different outlook to stuff, while his ideas and stuff might seem ridiculous they do have logic behind them. I kinda think I'm a bit like him. I come up with some strange things. Few people will say oh that's a good thought actually (like my nan), others just think I'm an idiot.
"Got an E in history" Bit of Karl trivia: THAT WAS HIS ONLY O LEVEL. Way back in Ricky Gervais' show on XFM they investigated his O Level results because he couldn't remember them, and found out History was the only one he sat, and he got an E in it XD He got sort of pissed at Ricky and Steve for finding out and saying it on Radio so it's funny he mentioned it on national TV lol.
Ricky and steve and karl are all mates, and they're joking, Eamonn is calling Karl an idiot to his face when they aren't friends, and he clearly means it in a malicious way. Almost as if he hates karl.
Partition be damned, Eamonn Holmes is an insult to the character of the entire Island of Ireland. Such a smug, pretentious person belittling a modest, soft-spoken guest. Karl hates interviews because they're held on networks that value inhuman traits of glibness and Car-Salesman Charm. Karl is much too genuine to function in an atmosphere of insincerity.
"tell me, Karl, are you really stupid?" ROFLMAO Anyone else would be insulted by that question, but Karl just answers it, like he was asked a normal question. Man I can't wait to see Idiot Abroad 2
You're only prick eamonn. Have some respect, Karl is a gentle, genuine, good-natured human being, with a fantastic sense of humour. He doesn't need your pompous snobbery directed at him.
@@Talisman09 hey im from a year in the future to tell you that the comment you were replying to, is sarcastic. He's actually mocking the hosts comment. Im going to travel a year back in time now, unfortunately you wont be able to see this until a year after your comment.
I hate these shows where they just have people on to plug their stuff and show a trailer...you really learn nothing you wouldn't just by watching their show/movie. They need to just let Karl talk, that's what's interesting about him.
I had no problem with Eamon Holmes until he was rude about Karls common sense. I've listened to pretty much everything Karl's ever said (radio/tv) and he is my hero.
Yes. What's your point? Just because he puts on a 'dumb' persona doesn't mean he's actually an idiot. He's an intelligent man, he just doesn't show it because then people wouldn't think he was so funny, they'd just think "Oh he's just putting it on, it's acting, he probably has a script."
Eamon:"First we go to the The Loose Women who you could never describe as [idiots]"
Karl: "Dunno 'bout that".
Amazing.
"If you're watching Loose Women, I don't want you watching my show"
He's on tv but still wearing the shoes he swapped in Africa that's wot u call down 2 earth
If you asked him why
You know the answer would be,
“Why not? They’re fine.”
It's to save money firstly.
@@reinforcedpenisstem sorry I didn’t know that
Love Karl's sly dig at Eamon when he said he'd be the king in Ireland
0:23 - The moment my immense love for Karl increased higher than I ever even thought possible.
"but why are you sat 'ere? we got bills to pay" LOL
Ain't we 😂😂😂
How could anyone not love Karl? I just want to squeeze his fucking head.
True dat! He is amazing :)
Don't you dare ruin his roundness
1:55 Karl is so fucking right there "It depends on what you class as important in life". Karl gains happiness from doing stuff like fixing things so why would he need to be "smart" by going through tons of education or whatever?
"I think they bully him" ... 1 minute earlier: "are you stupid?"
Ok Eamonn.
@The World War Two I think him and his wife are
karl is just such a top bloke, he loved it when that tribesman put his arm round him bless him.
Pilkington is not the stupid one, hes getting to see the world and be paid for it!
Did terrible in school, gets called stupid, becomes a radio producer and then goes around the world 3 times and gets paid for it. He's a genius
wolf of novac and now he has his own sitcom coming out soon
@@farty2264 is he a genius or is Ricky pretty stupid?
No really stop looking at him with the idea that he's stupid and he's actually so smart it's not even funny
But to him, that's punishment.
I love how he's still wearing the shoes he bought in Uganda.
I love How Karl is actually really smart, smarter than most people.
eamonn holmes needs a good kick up the hole for treating such a sweet man like this.

That's such a sweet little moment there in the truck with Karl and the little man he gave the coin to.
Lol "we go to the loose women that you could never describe as that" karl "i dont know about that"
The amount of times I've heard "E in 'istory" is incredible
Not only is Karl not thick, he's a far superior actor to that pair.
Eamon and Ruth were in 'Annually Retentive' with Rob Brydon, performances that'd be judged sub-par, even in a primary school nativity play.
"I'm happy at home; beans on toast and the telly"
loose women- 'we could never call them idiots'.
KP- 'don't know about that'
YES KARL!
Karl Pilkington is not an idiot.
He just has a different outlook to stuff, while his ideas and stuff might seem ridiculous they do have logic behind them. I kinda think I'm a bit like him. I come up with some strange things. Few people will say oh that's a good thought actually (like my nan), others just think I'm an idiot.
Lol my boyfriend is the same way XD
There are few people in this world happier in their own skin that karl. Something we can all learn from
Wow that male host... ugh
WOOO... Come to Newcastle.
Come to Newcastle Karl!
He so honest and down to earth.
cool this interview was the day before my birthday, long live carl pilkington!
haha karl at 0:24 with i dunno about that hilarious!
loved the 'cheers ruth' handwave
Karl saying "I'm not an idiot" got me good 😂
Hes not.
Hes uneducated but not an idiot
Yes Karl" that's the smartest thing is common sense! You're bloody awesome
Brilliant, so quick
"Got an E in history" Bit of Karl trivia: THAT WAS HIS ONLY O LEVEL.

Yomi ShadowWraith History wasn't the only one. He just didn't register to others.
it wasn't that he forgot what he got. he just never found out
Every video with a Karl Pilkington interview, all I see are commenters wishing death on the interviewers
LP SP
Yeah haha, that just sums it up. Hardly anyone understands him.
They should of called it 'this moaning' 😂 for this episode aha :)
ive got a snake in my boot
Alright joke but ruined by laughing at your own pun.
I've watched more of Karl than any one else on TV or UA-cam
Adore Karl Pilkington😂😂😂
Karl "I DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT!" XD lol
0:18 "I don't know about that"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Karl at the end, off camera: "9 o'clock!" hahaha
0:23 "i dont know about that" love karl!
This guy is fucking brilliant. I didn't think I would, but I love him.
he's so naturally funny, it's great... "I've never been to Newcastle!"
Ricky and steve and karl are all mates, and they're joking, Eamonn is calling Karl an idiot to his face when they aren't friends, and he clearly means it in a malicious way. Almost as if he hates karl.
''If you haven't seen it before, here is what it contains'' - brilliant phrasing right here.
Partition be damned, Eamonn Holmes is an insult to the character of the entire Island of Ireland. Such a smug, pretentious person belittling a modest, soft-spoken guest.
Karl hates interviews because they're held on networks that value inhuman traits of glibness and Car-Salesman Charm. Karl is much too genuine to function in an atmosphere of insincerity.
when he says 'I don't know about that' when the presenter says you could never call the loose women idiots :') ahahahah
"tell me, Karl, are you really stupid?" ROFLMAO Anyone else would be insulted by that question, but Karl just answers it, like he was asked a normal question.
Man I can't wait to see Idiot Abroad 2
0:32
Him: "Keith Lemon's gorgeous...? Did I just-"
Her: "Yes, yes he is"
Him: "... idiot."
ZING! :D I love this guy
You're only prick eamonn. Have some respect, Karl is a gentle, genuine, good-natured human being, with a fantastic sense of humour. He doesn't need your pompous snobbery directed at him.
'I was the same with olives' xD
7:11 the king LMFAO Karl just gets away with it
Holy shit, Karl's floating head at 3:51
every chat show he's been on he never shakes hands with the female host. brilliant
nothing is more funny than to see Karl annoyed when NOT filming an idiot abroad haha
I'm from Holland, and I understand English pretty well. But what does the expression 'It does me head in mean' really?
I wish I was a stupid as Karl. Millionaire top show on sky and best friends with Ricky and Steve Good one eamon 👀👀
Ben Ford
He's not stupid.
you're definitely not as smart as karl, genius 😂
@@Talisman09 hey im from a year in the future to tell you that the comment you were replying to, is sarcastic. He's actually mocking the hosts comment. Im going to travel a year back in time now, unfortunately you wont be able to see this until a year after your comment.
@@SuckMyGuides what did the host say? Regardless though anyway, I think I misread that comment, it does seem sarcastic now
Funny man our karl
Holmes is a complete prat but his wife seems quite normal. Strange that.
He looked so amused at the pic.
This Morning should be presented by Karl and Ruth, and Eamonn Holmes should be sent to Botswana on An Idiot Abroad.
I hate these shows where they just have people on to plug their stuff and show a trailer...you really learn nothing you wouldn't just by watching their show/movie. They need to just let Karl talk, that's what's interesting about him.
When a person can give a level headed, self-critical answer to the question "Are you stupid?", it already means that they are not stupid.
0:20 "...but first we go to the loose women.. who you could never describe as...." Karls voice in the back: "I dunno 'bout that.." hahahaha
2:34 Karl petitioning for the bullying to stop, thats hilarious. "what have you done?"
Karl should just start saying "yeah I'm an idiot. A total div" and people would probably stop going on about it.
No wonder Karl retired and packed it all in with Ricky and that.
Being called stupid and an idiot on television, nothing is worth that.
"Cheers, Ruth"
Karl is like suuper social. Most wouldn't like to be called idiots, he no ego :)
what the hell was 6:57?? It made me wish he did a Japanese game show while in Japan!
"cheers ruth" "9 o'clock" hahahaha
The ironic part of this interview was that Karl wasn't the idiot in the room
I can't believe he got on that airplane. That's guts.
He's always talking about his E in History! It's almost like he's showing off about it LOL!! Ah god I love Karl.
Why hasn't Karl been to Ireland?
Come to Newcastle Karl'
he is diffidently not dumb
Karl has a long career in broadcasting so he is definitely not stupid
Yes. His E in History really shows that off :)
But then he subtly gets back at him by saying he wouldn't be an idiot in Ireland, he'd be a king.
0.23 "I dont know about that" hahaha
"I don't know about that."
"Erm..... Didn't do well at school got an E in History, Left with that" hahaha what a ledge!
hes not an idiot hes a tipical english bloke.....what a legend
God i love that round headed baffoon :D
I had no problem with Eamon Holmes until he was rude about Karls common sense. I've listened to pretty much everything Karl's ever said (radio/tv) and he is my hero.
This should be re-titled as:
The two annoying arseholes" - That only let KP get a few words in.
"I'd be the King in Ireland" ahahahaha
push number 3 on the keyboard lol
Perfect Round Head 😂
How did he pull Ruth?
"I dunno about that"
Well done Karl, you did well. (As IF you would read this)
Truth
every interview he does he mentions his e in history lol awesome show
Actually, he's fairly intelligent and smarter than most people.
"mmm I dunno about that"
Yes. What's your point? Just because he puts on a 'dumb' persona doesn't mean he's actually an idiot. He's an intelligent man, he just doesn't show it because then people wouldn't think he was so funny, they'd just think "Oh he's just putting it on, it's acting, he probably has a script."
@OpsTheories He is!
Bungee jumping would be awesome
